In addition, an upper plate unit 16 is provided below the glass frame 14 for storing the paid-out game balls until they are sent to the launching device. The upper plate unit 16 is provided with an upper plate switch for causing the stored game balls to flow down to the lower plate unit 20, a ball lending switch for paying out lending balls that can be lent. Speakers 18 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the glass frame 14.

  At the bottom of the front frame 12, there is a lower plate unit 20 that can store game balls when the paid-out game balls cannot enter the upper plate unit 16, and a touch switch for launching the game balls. The firing handle 22 provided is provided. On the left side of the lower dish unit 20, an operation button 24 that can be pushed down by the player is provided.

  The game board 26 is formed of a substantially square plywood and is detachably attached to the front frame 12. This game board 26 is provided with a strip-shaped guide rail 28 made of a thin metal plate for guiding a game ball launched from the launching device so as to have a substantially arc shape. A part of the outer shell is formed.

  The game area of the game board 26 includes a display device 30, a start winning opening 32 (only a starting winning opening aimed at normal games is numbered 32), and a large winning opening 34 (corresponding to a predetermined winning area in the present invention). ), An out port 36 and the like are provided. The “winning” in the present invention means that a game ball enters an area, and the game ball that has entered the area is taken into the game machine 1 as it is (the game ball provided in the game area is The area that is configured by the “mouth” that can pass through), and the game ball that has entered the area flows down the game area as it is (the area that is configured by the “gate” through which the game ball can pass) Including both. The special winning opening 34 in the present embodiment is such that a game ball is taken into the gaming machine 1 as it is. As the display device 30, for example, a liquid crystal display device is used, and on the display screen (display unit) of the display device 30, an identification symbol (for example, a numerical symbol) or a normal symbol for notifying the determination result is displayed. The display screen of the display device 30 is visible through an opening formed in the game board 26.

  The game area of the game board 26 is provided with a plurality of game nails as obstacles that change the flow-down mode of the game balls when the game balls flowing down collide. The game ball flowing down the game area changes into various modes depending on the condition when it collides with the game nail.

  As shown in FIG. 2, on the back side of the gaming machine 1, various control boards such as a main control board 40, a sub control board 42, an effect control board 44, a sub drive board 46, a launching device, A ball tank, rails, etc. are provided. The sub-control board 42 is a board that determines what kind of effect is to be performed based on the jackpot lottery result and the like performed by which main control board 40. The effect control board 44 is a board that executes the effect determined by the sub-control board 42 using the display device 30 and the speaker 18 (see FIG. 3).

  In such a gaming machine 1, by operating the launch handle 22, a game ball is launched from the launch device to the game area, and the game ball flowing down the game area is used as a prize opening such as the start prize opening 32 or the big prize opening 34. When winning, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out by the payout device.

  Next, the control process of the gaming machine 1 will be described. The main control board 40 mainly performs a jackpot lottery. The jackpot lottery is executed when the game ball wins the start winning opening 32. The lottery method can be applied to a configuration similar to that of a known gaming machine, and thus the description thereof is omitted. The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is capable of storing (holding) up to four success / failure determination results. The pending determination result is notified after the previous determination result is notified. The result of the determination of success / failure executed by the main control board 40 and the command (variation command) relating to the variation pattern of the identification symbol for informing the result of the determination of success / failure, the determination of whether the game ball has won the start winning opening 32 and the determination of success / failure A command indicating a result (start winning command), a command indicating that a game ball has won a prize winning opening 34 (large winning command), a command indicating a so-called round number in a jackpot game (round command), and the like are sub-commands. It is sent to the control board 42.

  Hereinafter, a control process performed by the sub control board 42 will be described. In the sub control main process (S200) performed by the sub control board 42, as shown in FIG. 4, first, a CPU initialization process is performed (S201). Specifically, stack setting, CPU setting, SIO, CTC setting, and the like are performed. Then, processing is performed to determine whether or not the power-off signal is ON and the contents of the RAM of the sub-control board 42 are normal (S202). If the power-off signal is not ON or the contents of the RAM are not normal, the RAM is initialized (S203). Thereafter, the watchdog timer counter 1 (for 2 ms) and the watchdog timer counter 2 (for 10 ms) are initialized (S204). After initialization of the watchdog timer counter, interrupts are prohibited (S205), and various effects and various design random numbers are updated (random seed update; S206). After the update process, an interrupt is permitted (S207) and a loop process is performed. In this loop processing, reception interrupt processing (S300), 2 ms timer interrupt processing (S400), and 10 ms timer interrupt processing (S500) are performed.

  The reception interrupt process (S300) shown in FIG. 5 is a process for receiving a command (control signal) from the main control board 40. In the reception interrupt process (S300), it is first confirmed whether the strobe (STB) signal from the main control board 40 is ON (S301). When the strobe signal is ON, that is, when the strobe signal is input to the external INT input unit, The command (control signal) output from the main control board 40 is received and stored in the RAM (S302). Here, the commands received from the main control board 40 include the above-described variation commands for executing effects corresponding to various jackpots. On the other hand, if the strobe signal is not ON, the reception interrupt process (S300) is terminated at that time.

  The 2 ms timer interrupt process (S400) shown in FIG. 6 is performed in preference to the 10 ms timer interrupt process. In the input / output control process (S401), input / output control of external data (lamp data, operation switch data, etc.) is performed. In the input data processing (S402), input data creation (for 2 ms) of the origin sensor of the driving mechanism that drives the operation switch and the driving object (actual object) is performed. In the driving process (S403), control data for driving the driven object is created and output. In the watchdog timer counter 1 initialization process (S404), the watchdog timer 1 is initialized.

  In the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) shown in FIG. 7, first, as input data process (S501), input data creation (for 10 ms) of the origin sensor of the drive mechanism that drives the operation switch and the drive object (servant) is performed. Thereafter, main command analysis processing (S502) is performed (details will be described later). After the main command analysis process (S502), various control processes (S503) related to effects such as lamps and driving objects (servants) and other processes (S504) are performed, and the 10 ms timer interrupt process (S500) is completed. To do.

  The main command analysis process (S502) shown in FIG. 8 analyzes a command (control signal) received from the main control board 40 in the 10 ms timer interrupt process, and performs a process corresponding to the command. In the following, a point effect that is an effect executed during a jackpot game (special game) that can be executed by the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment (the point effect corresponds to the special effect in the present invention, and the point effect is executed. Only the processing related to the means (corresponding to the effect execution means in the present invention) will be described. The other effect determination process executed by the sub-control board 42 may have any configuration, and the description thereof is omitted.

  First, the jackpot game in the present embodiment will be briefly described. In the jackpot game, the player can acquire a large number of game balls (prize balls) when the big winning opening 34 is frequently opened (a state where game balls are easy to win). One open state (each round) is ended when a predetermined number (for example, 10 balls) of game balls wins the big prize opening 34 or when a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. Such an open state is repeated a plurality of times to complete the jackpot game.

  The gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment is provided with two large winning ports 34 (a first large winning port 341 and a second large winning port 342). In the present embodiment, as the big win, the second big winning opening 342 is opened for one round so that the game ball can be easily won during the big hit game. When the first grand prize opening 341 is opened in rounds other than the round in which the big prize opening 342 is opened), the second big prize opening is such that the game ball can easily win during the big hit game. Two of the second type big hits are set in which 342 is not open (the first big prize opening 341 is open in each round). Note that the number of rounds may be constant for both type 1 jackpots and type 2 jackpots, and include jackpots with different numbers of rounds (for example, type 1 jackpot with 8 rounds type 1 jackpot, 16 rounds including first-class jackpots).

  As described above, the commands received by the sub control board 42 from the main control board 40 include a big prize command and a round command. In the main command analysis process, it is first determined whether or not the command received from the main control board 40 is a big prize command (S502-1). If the received command is a big prize command (S502-1 “Yes”), a point lottery process is executed (S600). On the other hand, if the command received from the main control board 40 is not a big prize command (S502-1 “No”), it is determined whether the received command is a round command (S502-2). When the received command is a round command (S502-2 “Yes”), an in-round effect process (S700) is executed. If the command received from the main control board 40 is not a round command (S502-2 “No”), it is determined whether the received command is a variation command (S502-2). If the received command is a variable command, point initialization processing (S800) is executed. If the received command is not a variation command (S502-3 “No”), other processing corresponding to the received other command is executed (S502-4). The other processes may be executed after the point lottery process or the round effect process.

  The jackpot point lottery process (S600) shown in FIG. 9 is a process for lottery and addition of the points related to the point effect executed during the jackpot game. In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the grand prize command is based on the fact that a game ball has won the first grand prize opening 341 (first grand prize command) (S601). If the game ball is based on winning of the first big prize opening 341 (S601 “Yes”), the acquisition points are drawn based on the first lottery table (S602). On the other hand, the grand prize command is not based on a game ball winning in the first big prize opening 341, that is, based on a game ball winning in the second big prize opening 342 (second big prize command). If there is any (S601 “No”), an acquisition point is drawn based on the second lottery table (S603).

  Thus, in this embodiment, the lottery which gives a point is triggered by the fact that the game ball has won the grand prize opening 34 (the means for determining the number of granted points by the lottery determines the number of granted points in the present invention). Equivalent to the means). However, the contents of the lottery based on the game ball winning the first big prize opening 341 and the contents of the lottery based on the game ball winning the second big prize opening 342 are different. The specific contents of each lottery (first lottery table, second lottery table) may be anything. In the present embodiment, the points obtained when the game ball wins the second grand prize opening 342 rather than the expected number of points obtained when the game ball wins the first big prize opening 341. The expected value of the number is set to be larger. Accordingly, if the number of rounds is the same, the first type big win where the second big prize opening 342 is opened is one time than the second type big win where the second big prize opening 342 is not opened. The expected value of points obtained through jackpot games is large. Alternatively, the number of points obtained with a single winning may be set to be N (N is a natural number) (a lottery mode in which the probability of giving N points is 100%).

  In the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball to the second big winning opening 342 is an opportunity for the gaming state after the end of the jackpot to shift to a high probability state advantageous to the player. In other words, for the player, opening the second grand prize opening 342 is not only in terms of shifting to an advantageous gaming state, but also in terms of being a chance to earn many points. It can be said that.

  The number of points obtained in S602 or S603 is added to the total number of points X (S604). When the total number of points X is 100 or more (S605 “Yes”), the number of coins that have obtained a value of 100 in X is displayed on the display device 30 (S606). In other words, every time the number of points given becomes 100 points, a coin in effect (virtual) is awarded to the player.

  The in-round effect process shown in FIG. 10 is a process for determining whether or not to execute a point effect. First, it is determined whether or not a round for executing a point effect has been reached (S701). One or a plurality of rounds may be set in advance as the round in which the point effect is executed, or may be drawn (changed) every time a big hit game is played. In the case of lottery, at least one point effect may occur in any round, or it may not occur at all.

  When it is determined that the point effect execution round has been reached (S701 “Yes”), it is determined whether or not the total number X of points given is 100 points or more (S702). That is, it is determined whether or not one or more production coins have been acquired. When the total number of points X is 100 points or more (S702 “Yes”), point effect processing is executed (S703). If the total number of points X is less than 100 (S702 “No”), other processing is executed (S704), and this processing ends. That is, when the total number of points X is less than 100 points, the point effect is not executed.

  The point effect process shown in FIG. 11 is a process for actually executing the point effect. The point effect in the present embodiment is a game in which a reward for the effect is obtained using coins acquired by the player. In the point effect process, first, a display for instructing the player to operate the operation button 24 is performed, and a timer for operating the operation button 24 is set (in this embodiment, it is set to 10 seconds) (S703-1). . When the operation button 24 is operated before the timer becomes 0 (S703-2 “Yes”), a card which is a privilege on production determined by lottery is given (displayed on the display device 30). (S703-3). For example, as will be described later, an image for purchasing a card (a card determined by lottery) from a vending machine using the given coin may be displayed. In addition, a reading code such as a QR code (registered trademark of Denso Wave Co., Ltd.) is added to the card, and the card image can be taken into a mobile phone or the like by reading the code. Good.

  After the card is awarded, 100 is subtracted from the total number of points X (S703-4). In other words, the setting is such that one coin is consumed by giving a card, and the number of coins displayed on the display device 30 is subtracted (S703-5).

  The point initialization process shown in FIG. 12 is a process for resetting the given points. In the present embodiment, the total number of points X is maintained as long as the high probability state (so-called probability variation state. The state where it is easy to win a jackpot) continues, and the points are reset when the high probability state ends. In the point initialization process, it is first determined whether or not a variation command in a low probability state (normal state) has been received (S801). If the command has been received (S801 “Yes”), it means that the lottery in the low probability state has started and the high probability state has ended, so the total number of points awarded X is initialized (set to 0) (S802). The total number of points X given may be set to be added unless the power is turned off, or set so that it will not be reset as long as the lottery when the high probability state ends is continued to win. Also good. That is, the reset condition can be changed as appropriate.

  A specific example of the point effect controlled in this way is shown in FIG. When the big hit game is started, points are added when the game ball wins the first big prize opening 341 or the second big prize opening 342. In the present embodiment, the total number of points X is not displayed on the display device 30 but may be set so that the total number of points X is displayed. The display device 30 displays the number of coins given according to the number of points (FIGS. 13A to 13C).

  When the point effect execution round is reached, when the operation button 24 is operated, an image is displayed such that the given coin is inserted into the vending machine, and the card determined by the lottery is displayed (see FIG. 13 (d)-(f)).

  As described above, in the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a special effect according to the number of points added each time a game ball is won in the winning area is executed, so that the gaming ball is placed in the winning area. It is possible to execute a highly interesting effect linked to a game mode unique to a privilege game of winning a prize. In addition, if the number of points to be given may be different for each winning prize (the number of points is determined by lottery), it is possible to further enhance the preference of performance.

  Then, when the special game is executed, the lottery content (the lottery content based on the first lottery table) for determining the number of points to be executed triggered by winning the first grand prize opening 341, and the second Since the contents of the lottery (the contents of the lottery based on the second lottery table) for determining the number of granted points to be executed upon winning the big prize opening 342 are set differently, It is possible to produce a highly interesting effect in which the change in the type of the winning opening 34 and the change in the added points are linked. As in the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball to the second grand prize opening 342 is set as an opportunity to shift to a game state advantageous to the player after the jackpot game ends, and the game ball is set to the first big prize opening. It is set so that the expected value of the number of points obtained when the game ball has won the second big prize opening 342 is larger than the expected value of the number of points obtained when winning the 341 If so, it is possible to further enhance the pleasure generated by the second grand prize winning opening 342 being opened.

  In addition, the point effect is to give a player a bonus on the effect determined by lottery (in this embodiment, a card), and the lottery has a predetermined number of points (in this embodiment, 100 points). ) Will be executed once every time. In other words, as the number of points increases, it is possible to obtain a highly-oriented production that easily obtains a privilege on production.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  The point effect may be an effect that informs or suggests whether an event advantageous to the player occurs after the end of the jackpot game (special game). For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the total number of points X given exceeds a predetermined number, a “treasure get challenge” effect that opens the treasure chest by operating the operation button 24 or the like occurs (FIG. 14 (a) ( b)). When it is determined that an event advantageous to the player will occur after the jackpot game ends, a video (image) is displayed as if a treasure has been acquired (FIG. 14C), otherwise A video (image) is displayed as if a treasure did not exist (FIG. 14D). Examples of events that are advantageous to the player include a case where there is something that wins a jackpot in so-called hold (information on the stored determination result).

  In the jackpot game, various things are known that perform an effect that causes an advantageous event for the player after the jackpot game ends, but in the case where such an effect is executed, when the effect does not occur, The probability that an event advantageous to the player will not occur after the jackpot game ends is increased (the possibility of an event advantageous to the player occurring after the jackpot game is eliminated depending on the gaming machine), so that the big hit when the performance ends in failure There is a problem that the player's interest in the determination of success / failure after the game is over (the result of the determination of the determination being put on hold) is reduced.

  On the other hand, in the example as shown in FIG. 14, depending on the total number of points X, there is a case where an effect indicating whether an event advantageous to the player occurs after the end of the jackpot game is performed or not. Therefore, even if there was no production that an advantageous event occurred after the special game ended, the production did not occur just because the number of points did not satisfy the predetermined condition. Since there is a possibility, in any case, there is an expectation that an advantageous event will occur after the end of the special game (therefore, it is better not to display the point number itself on the display device 30 as in the above embodiment). . That is, it is possible to increase the preference of a special game and a series of games after the end of the special game (suppress the interest in the held determination result is diminished).

Hereinafter, specific means (game machines) obtained from the above embodiment will be listed.
The gaming machine according to the first aspect of the invention is a gaming machine capable of executing a special game that makes it easy for a game ball to win in a predetermined winning area, and that the game ball has won in the predetermined winning area.
